Saint Patty’s Day Parade and Dash!

Written by Willow Shedlock

A classic celebration for Saint Patrick’s Day is the parade. And in Pittsburgh, where a large section of the population has Irish heritage, the parade is a guaranteed way for people of all ages to have fun! 

The parade will take place on Saturday, March 14th, at 10 am and will be available to watch on livestream as well. The route will follow three major streets Downtown: Boulevard of the Allies, Grant Street, and Liberty Ave.
